Friends, we all know the very real effects of climate change: harsher weather, shrinking coastlines, and more dangerous storms. We also know these risks disproportionately fall on the most vulnerable.

Instead, the Trump Administration wants to cut the programs that give a voice to vulnerable communities impacted by environmental devastation. Sign on if you agree that this national priority should be protected:
